Right now, our van Hope has been off the road for three months, and when you live in a van, everything else stops too.
In this episode of The Groovy Life, we set out on a mission to diagnose why Hope wouldn’t start and figure out how to get her back on the road. From testing the battery to delivering leaflets to raise funds, this video captures the honest reality of van life and the challenges that come with keeping your home moving.
We believe the issue may be the glow plugs, especially as the problems only seemed to happen during the colder winter months. While Hope isn’t fully fixed yet, she’s running again, and this is a huge step forward.
This is just one part of our wider journey as we continue working towards a more sustainable life on the road.
If you’ve ever experienced van trouble, we’d love to hear your story in the comments.

Stay groovy ✌️
